=Placing videos in your Wiki=

In order to place a video you will first need to place your video at an online video site.

While you can do this at Youtube TeacherTube is a more suitable site to use for school projects. TeacherTube allows you to choose to allow unlimited public views or keep it totally private and already contains educational videos uploaded by over 300,000+ Educators. I keep my uploaded videos on TeacherTube private, which means only I can access them. From there I can transfer ( embed) them to my wikispace. By embedding it, you can watch your movie without ever leaving your wiki space.

You will first need to set up a TeacherTube account.


 * Embedding videos into my wikispace:

First:**
 * Login to your wiki space and go the page you would like to put a movie into (Make sure you use a smaller version of your video. It doesn't need to be full screen and full resolution).
 * Click on edit this page.
 * Place the cursor where you'd like the video to show, and then click the little blue TV screen icon that is in the Editor bar.
 * This opens the widgetmenu (like the one below)
 * Select the top one, "video".


 * Next:**
 * Select the type of video that you want to embed. You'll need to select the second top one for "TeacherTube".


 * This will then give you the following instructions:

> //
 * 1) //Go to the video on [|TeacherTube.com] that you want to embed//
 * 2) //Look for the **"Embeddable"** field on the video page
 * 1) //Copy (by hitting CTRL and C at the same time) the text from that box and place (by hitting CTRL and V at the same time) into the box below//
 * 2) //Click **Preview** to preview the video or click **Save**//




 * This will take you back to your wiki Editor page. You should now click "Save" for that page as well.
 * Your page is now ready to run with your video in place.
